Nonetheless, the property held nominally or actually by individual members of the Roman churches would usually be treated as a common patrimony handed over successively to the legitimate "heir" of that property, often its senior <a href="/wiki/Deacon" title="Deacon">deacons</a>, who were, in turn, assistants to the local bishop.

However, the Roman Church held all of these lands as a private landowner, not as a sovereign entity. Following the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the papacy found itself increasingly placed in a precarious and vulnerable position. As central Roman authority disintegrated throughout the late 5th century, control over the Italian peninsula repeatedly changed hands, falling under the <a href="/wiki/Arianism" title="Arianism">Arian</a> suzerainty of <a href="/wiki/Odoacer" title="Odoacer">Odoacer</a> in 473, and in 493, <a href="/wiki/Theodoric" title="Theodoric">Theodoric</a>, king of the <a href="/wiki/Ostrogoths" title="Ostrogoths">Ostrogoths</a>.
